Chemical Peels
Enhance the Skin’s Appearance in Rockland, Maine
Chemical Peels
Our skin is a tough layer that covers and protects our body—but in doing so, it constantly gets damaged, not only by external stress from exposure to sunlight, pollution, dirt, germs, and weather changes, but also due to the internal changes that are occurring in our skin as we age. Chemical peels at Rockland, Maine’s Skin Klinic & Day Spa are designed to safely remove the top layers of damaged skin on the face, neck, and hands. These treatments represent an important method of keeping the skin in good health.

What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are skin resurfacing treatments designed to improve the appearance of the skin by addressing numerous skin imperfections, such as wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, freckles, redness, rosacea, dilated pores, scarring, dryness, acne, pre-cancerous growths, and more.
Specially formulated acid solutions are used to prompt the exfoliation. Soon after the peel is applied, the outermost layer of skin begins to flake away. The result is skin that is smoother, less wrinkled, and more youthful looking in comparison to the old skin.
There are three different options available: light, medium, and deep.
Superficial/Light Peels
The Skin Klinic & Day Spa team recommends light peels for cosmetic problems that primarily are on the outermost layer of skin. The epidermis is removed during this gentle, low-risk peel to address skin concerns such as fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone, and dryness.
Medium Peels
Medium peels from Skin Klinic & Day Spa get rid of the epidermis as well as the upper part of the dermis, which is the middle layer of skin. These target wrinkles, minor acne scars, minor hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.
Deep Peels
Deep peels are used more rarely for moderate to severe skin concerns, such as extensive sun damage, deep scars, and pre-cancerous growths. They provide the most dramatic results, but also require the most down time for healing after.
VI Peels
VI peels are different types of gentle exfoliation treatments that correct visible signs of aging with minimal downtime or discomfort.
GlycoAla®
Cosmetic photodynamic therapy is an exciting new science featuring light-activated photosensitive topical creams and gels that promote dramatic visible anti-aging results.
GlycoAla is a photodynamic gel that helps reduce and prevent the visible signs of aging. The key ingredient is encapsulated in a state-of-the-art nanoparticle delivery system known as glycospheres, providing enhanced stability, delivery, and speed of absorption. The nanoparticles are combined with hyaluronic acid in this advanced, one-of-a-kind skincare gel.
Combine this unique GlycoAla topical treatment with our Poly LED light therapy for impressive visible results that last including:
- Visibly reduce the appearance of pores
- Experience softer, plumper skin texture and firmness
- Reduce the appearance of oiliness
- Create more radiant skin and diminished appearance of fine lines and sun damage
The treatment takes approximately 70-90 minutes. For best results, 3 monthly treatments are recommended. Periodic maintenance treatments will likely help maintain results. There is no appreciable downtime but you should avoid going outdoors in the sunlight for 48 hours after treatment.
The Skin Klinic & Day Spa team, with experience in both medical cosmetics and dermatology, can address a wide range of aesthetic issues due to aging, sun damage, and more. Every session involves treating not just the specific issue, but balancing results so they look natural and harmonize with the rest of the face and body.

When the solution is applied to your skin, the resulting reaction may cause it to feel hot for a few minutes. This solution will be left on for a specific amount of time. The length of the procedure depends on the strength of the peel, but all are usually completed within 30 to 90 minutes.
What Can I Expect from Recovery and Results After Chemical Peels?
Some common side effects associated with chemical peels include redness, tightness, irritation, swelling, blistering, and scaling that can persist for several days. The effects can be summed up as a sunburn-like reaction. Please note that your skin will temporarily be more vulnerable to sunlight for a while after a chemical peel.
